I’ve been getting a LOT of comments and questions recently about my hair, and since I remember the days of having shoulder length hair and dying for it to grow faster I am here to share all my hair tips with you!
Like I said, 18 months ago my hair was right at my shoulders! I liked it that length and had been trimming it for about a year to maintain the short length. When Elliott was born in July 2017 I decided to start growing it out again and made some changes to how I was treating my hair to make sure it grew faster than normal!
There are really only 3 things you should do when trying to grow your hair really long, really fast. Let’s dive into them!
Step 1: Use Mermaid Hair! This is the best and most natural product for making your hair grow thick, strong, and long! It also makes your hair super soft and shiny, and it smells incredible. It is made with 100% pure organic essential oils, a splash of organic witch hazel, and water. That simple combo is effective enough to change the structure of your hair without leaving it oily and greasy! It also works great as a detangling spray, so use it after washing hair to prevent breakage when brushing out tough knots.
Reviews say this product is a game changer, that it’s changed their hair routine forever, and that their hair has never been softer or stronger! You can purchase it via this link!
Step 2: Stop Using Heat. The most damaging thing you can do to your hair is heat it! This refers to blow drying, straightening, curling, all of it. If you want your hair to stay really healthy and consequently grow longer and thicker, you have to stop using heat!
Some tips for making this step easier: shower at night and braid wet hair for a natural looking wave the next day. Wash your hair fewer times a week so you’ll need to style it less often. Find ways to creatively do your hair that doesn’t require heating it!
Step 3: Ditch the Harmful Products. Next time you open up the bathroom cabinet READ THE LABELS on the products you’re putting in your hair! If you aren’t sure what all of the ingredients are or if they are harmful, download the Think Dirty App and type in the individual ingredients or the product as a whole. Then throw away every product that is harmful! For me, this is anything that rates higher than a 3 on the Think Dirty App. I went through my cabinet one day and threw away every. single. product. in there!
These three things are the only things I did to make my hair grow so long and thick over the last year and a half! These tips seriously improved my postpartum hair loss, I can honestly say my hair stopped falling out specifically when I started using Mermaid Hair.
Just for funsies, here is a before picture of my hair on Elliott’s birthday in July 2017 followed by my hair this week in April of 2019!
Side Note: I have been getting my hair done by Najela at Phenix Salon in Las Vegas and she is AMAZING. Super quick, incredibly talented (just check out her Instagram feed for inspo here) and one of the nicest and most down to earth humans ever! I highly recommend her if you are local!
